한편, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 금융 자동화기기(100)는, 도 1 및 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 매체 이송부(120)의 이송 경로를 따라 이송된 종이매체(P)가 매체 캐리어의 스택 공간(130S)으로 낱장씩 원활하게 이송될 수 있도록 매체 캐리어(130)를 이송시키는 시트 롤러부(180)와, 매체 이송부(120)로부터 매체 캐리어(130)로 종이매체(P)의 스택 작업이 진행될 때 매체 캐리어(130)의 개구 부분에 대향되는 영역에 마련되어 종이매체(P)의 일측면(P1, 외측을 향하는 면, 도 5 참조)을 지지하는 지지부(190)를 구비한다. Meanwhile, in the financial automation device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the paper medium P conveyed along the conveying path of the media conveying unit 120 is connected to the media carrier. The sheet roller unit 180 which transfers the media carrier 130 so that the sheet space 130S can be smoothly transferred to the stack space 130S, and the stacking operation of the paper medium P from the media transfer unit 120 to the media carrier 130. In this case, a support part 190 is provided in an area facing the opening portion of the media carrier 130 to support one side P1 of the paper medium P (outward facing side, see FIG. 5).
먼저, 시트 롤러부(180)의 구성에 대해 설명하면, 본 실시예의 시트 롤러부(180)는, 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이, 일방향으로 회전 가능한 회전축(181)과, 회전축(181)의 중앙 부분에 결합되는 한 쌍의 중앙 시트 롤러(182)와, 회전축(181)의 양측 부분에 결합되는 한 쌍의 외측 시트 롤러(185)를 포함한다.First, the configuration of the sheet roller unit 180 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the sheet roller unit 180 according to the present embodiment includes a rotation shaft 181 rotatable in one direction and a center of the rotation shaft 181. A pair of center sheet rollers 182 coupled to the portion, and a pair of outer sheet rollers 185 coupled to both sides of the rotation shaft 181.
이러한 중앙 시트 롤러(182)와 외측 시트 롤러(185)는 사이즈 및 재질에 있어서, 차이가 있지만 그 형상은 유사하다. 중앙 시트 롤러(182) 및 외측 시트 롤러(185)는 각각, 도 4 및 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이, 회전축(181)에 결합되는 롤러몸체(183, 186)와, 롤러몸체(183, 186)의 외면으로부터 반경 방향으로 길게 형성되는 복수의 시트부재(184, 187)를 구비한다.The center sheet roller 182 and the outer sheet roller 185 are different in size and material, but their shapes are similar. The center sheet roller 182 and the outer sheet roller 185 are roller bodies 183 and 186 and roller bodies 183 and 186 coupled to the rotating shaft 181, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. A plurality of sheet members 184, 187 are formed to extend in the radial direction from the outer surface of the.
따라서, 회전축(181)이 돌 때 중앙 시트 롤러(182) 및 외측 시트 롤러(185)는 실질적으로 동시에 돌면서 매체 이송부(120) 상의 종이매체(P) 낱장을 매체 캐리어(130)의 스택 공간(130S)으로 이송시킬 수 있다.Accordingly, when the rotating shaft 181 rotates, the center sheet roller 182 and the outer sheet roller 185 rotate substantially simultaneously, thereby stacking the sheet of paper medium P on the media conveying unit 120 and stack space 130S of the media carrier 130. ) Can be transferred.
다만, 전술한 바와 같이, 종이매체(P)와 실질적으로 접촉하여 운반 작업을 하는 중앙 시트 롤러(182)의 시트부재(184)와 외측 시트 롤러(185)의 시트부재(187)는 상호 다른 길이 및 재질로 마련된다.However, as described above, the sheet member 184 of the central sheet roller 182 and the sheet member 187 of the outer sheet roller 185 having substantially different lengths are in contact with the paper medium P. And a material.
즉, 중앙 시트 롤러(182)의 시트부재(184)는 외측 시트 롤러(185)의 시트부재(187)에 비해 상대적으로 긴 길이를 가질 뿐만 아니라 마찰력 역시 상대적으로 큰 재질로 마련된다. 또한, 접촉 면적을 증대시키기 위해 폭 역시 더 크게 마련될 수 있다. That is, the sheet member 184 of the center sheet roller 182 has a relatively long length as compared with the sheet member 187 of the outer sheet roller 185 and is provided with a relatively large friction force. In addition, the width can also be made larger to increase the contact area.
부연 설명하면, 중앙 시트 롤러(182)의 시트부재(184)는 마찰력이 강한 러버(rubber) 재질로 마련될 수 있으며, 외측 시트 롤러(185)의 시트부재(187)는 러버에 비해 상대적으로 작은 마찰력을 갖는 플라스틱(plastic) 재질로 마련될 수 있다. 다만, 이에 한정되는 것은 아니며, 중앙 시트 롤러(182)의 시트부재(184) 및 외측 시트 롤러(185)의 시트부재(187)는 다른 재질로 마련될 수 있다.In detail, the sheet member 184 of the center sheet roller 182 may be formed of a rubber material having a strong friction force, and the sheet member 187 of the outer sheet roller 185 is relatively smaller than the rubber. It may be made of a plastic material having a friction force. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the sheet member 184 of the center sheet roller 182 and the sheet member 187 of the outer sheet roller 185 may be formed of different materials.
이러한 구조적 특징에 의해, 시트 롤러부(180)가 매체 이송부(120) 상의 종이매체(P)를 매체 캐리어(130)로 이송시킬 때, 종이매체(P)의 외측 부분에 비해 종이매체(P)의 중앙 부분에서 상대적으로 큰 지지력이 발생될 수 있으며, 이에 따라 종이매체(P)의 스택 과정에서 스큐(skew) 등이 발생되는 것을 저지할 수 있다. 또한 이때, 종이매체(P)의 외측 부분 역시 외측 시트 롤러(185)에 의한 지지력에 의해 지지되어 매체 이송부(120) 상의 종이매체(P)는 매체 캐리어(130)의 스택 공간(130S)으로 원활하게 이송될 수 있다.Due to this structural feature, when the sheet roller unit 180 conveys the paper medium P on the medium conveying unit 120 to the medium carrier 130, the paper medium P is compared with the outer portion of the paper medium P. FIG. A relatively large bearing force may be generated in the central portion of the sheet, thereby preventing the skew from occurring during the stacking process of the paper medium P. In addition, at this time, the outer portion of the paper medium (P) is also supported by the supporting force by the outer sheet roller 185, so that the paper medium (P) on the medium conveying unit 120 smoothly into the stack space 130S of the medium carrier (130). Can be conveyed.
한편, 시트 롤러부(180)에 의해 매체 캐리어(130)로 운반된 종이매체(P)는 매체 캐리어(130)의 내측 부분과 충돌된 후 낙하되어, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 매체 캐리어(130)의 스택 공간(130S)에 차곡차곡 쌓인다. 이때, 종이매체(P)는 매체 캐리어(130)의 외측을 향하는 면(P1)이 일면이 되도록 얼라인되어야 하는데, 이를 위해 본 실시예에서는, 종이매체(P)의 외측면(P1)을 지지하는 지지부(190)가 마련된다.On the other hand, the paper medium P carried by the sheet roller unit 180 to the media carrier 130 collides with the inner portion of the media carrier 130 and then falls, and as shown in FIG. 3, the media carrier ( The stack space 130S of the stack 130 is stacked one by one. At this time, the paper medium (P) should be aligned so that the surface (P1) facing the outside of the media carrier 130 is one surface, for this purpose, in this embodiment, to support the outer surface (P1) of the paper medium (P) The support 190 is provided.
본 실시예의 지지부(190)는, 도 3 및 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이, 시트 롤러부(180)의 하부 영역에서 시트 롤러부(180)의 일부가 사이사이에 개재되도록 마련된다. 이러한 지지부(190)의 일측 형상은 매체 캐리어(130)를 회전시키는 캐리어 위치 조정부(150)의 로터(151)의 외면 형상에 대응되는 형상을 갖는다. 즉, 원형의 외면 형상을 갖는 로터(151)에 대응되도록, 지지부(190)의 외측 형상은 곡면 형상을 갖는다.As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the support part 190 of the present embodiment is provided such that a part of the sheet roller part 180 is interposed between the lower parts of the sheet roller part 180. One side shape of the support part 190 has a shape corresponding to the outer surface shape of the rotor 151 of the carrier position adjusting part 150 for rotating the medium carrier 130. That is, the outer shape of the support 190 has a curved shape so as to correspond to the rotor 151 having a circular outer surface shape.
보다 구체적으로 설명하면, 지지부(190)는, 도 5에 개략적으로 도시된 바와 같이, 종이매체(P)의 이송 방향의 가로 방향을 따라 길게 마련되는 지지몸체(191)와, 지지몸체(191)의 외면으로부터 로터(151) 방향으로 돌출 형성되어 매체 캐리어(130)에 스택된 종이매체(P)의 외측면(P1)이 부분적으로 접촉되는 복수 개의 지지 리브(192)를 포함한다.In more detail, as shown in FIG. 5, the support part 190 includes a support body 191 and a support body 191 which are elongated along the horizontal direction of the conveying direction of the paper medium P, and the support body 191. And a plurality of support ribs 192 protruding from the outer surface of the outer surface 151 to partially contact the outer surface P1 of the paper medium P stacked on the media carrier 130.
복수 개의 지지 리브(192)는, 지지몸체(191)의 폭 방향을 따라 상호 이격 배치된다. 그리고, 이격 공간에 전술한 시트 롤러부(180)의 중앙 시트 롤러(182) 및 외측 시트 롤러(185)가 부분적으로 개재되어 그 사이에서 회전하며 종이매체(P)의 이송 작업 및 얼라인 작업을 수행할 수 있다.The plurality of support ribs 192 are spaced apart from each other along the width direction of the support body 191. In addition, the center sheet roller 182 and the outer sheet roller 185 of the above-described sheet roller unit 180 are partially interposed in the separation space to rotate between them, and the transfer and alignment operations of the paper medium P are performed. Can be done.
복수 개의 지지 리브(192)는, 매체 캐리어(130)에 스택된 종이매체(P)를 얼라인하는 역할을 한다. 다시 말해, 매체 이송부(120)로부터 매체 캐리어(130)의 스택 공간(130S)으로 이송된 종이매체(P)는 매체 캐리어(130)의 내측벽에 부딪힌 후 낙하되어 일면이 복수 개의 지지 리브(192)에 지지되며, 이에 따라 지지 리브(192)를 따라 복수 개의 종이매체(P)가 차곡차곡 얼라인될 수 있는 것이다. The plurality of support ribs 192 serve to align the paper medium P stacked on the media carrier 130. In other words, the paper medium P transferred from the media conveying unit 120 to the stack space 130S of the media carrier 130 hits the inner wall of the media carrier 130 and then falls, so that one surface thereof has a plurality of support ribs 192. ) So that a plurality of paper media P may be aligned along the support rib 192.
여기서, 전술한 시트 롤러부(180)는 회전 동작에 의해 매체 캐리어(130) 상의 종이매체(P)를 하측으로 당기며 얼라인시키는 역할을 한다. 즉, 회전하는 시트 롤러부(180)의 시트부재(184, 187) 중 어느 하나는 매체 캐리어(130) 상에서 종이매체(P)의 얼라인을 수행하고 인접한 다른 하나의 시트부재(184, 187)는 매체 이송부(120) 상의 종이매체(P)를 매체 캐리어(130) 상으로 낱장씩 이송하는 역할을 하는 것이다.Here, the sheet roller unit 180 described above serves to align and pull the paper medium P on the media carrier 130 downward by the rotation operation. That is, any one of the sheet members 184 and 187 of the rotating sheet roller unit 180 performs the alignment of the paper medium P on the media carrier 130 and the other adjacent sheet members 184 and 187. Serves to convey the paper medium P on the medium conveying unit 120 onto the medium carrier 130 sheet by sheet.
그런데, 대부분의 종이매체(P)는 매체 캐리어(130) 상에서 얼라인된 상태로 스택되지만, 가령 매체 이송부(120)로부터 매체 캐리어(130)로 스큐된 상태의 종이매체(P)가 이송되는 경우 종이매체(P)는, 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이, 복수 개의 지지 리브(192) 상에서도 스큐된 상태로 위치될 수 있다.By the way, when most of the paper medium (P) is stacked in the aligned state on the media carrier 130, for example, the paper medium (P) in the skewed state from the medium transport unit 120 to the media carrier 130 is transferred As shown in FIG. 5, the paper medium P may be positioned in a skewed state on the plurality of support ribs 192.
하지만, 이때 전술한 시트 롤러부(180)의 중앙 시트 롤러(182)는 외측 시트 롤러(185)에 비해 상대적으로 넓은 접촉 면적을 유지한 상태에서 강한 마찰력으로 종이매체(P)의 중앙 부분을 하방으로 당기기 때문에, 스큐 상태의 종이매체(P)는 복수 개의 지지 리브(192) 중 접촉된 지지 리브(192)와의 교점을(192P) 기준으로 회전하며, 이에 따라 종이매체(P)의 얼라인이 이루어질 수 있다.However, at this time, the center sheet roller 182 of the sheet roller unit 180 described above is lowered below the central portion of the paper medium P with a strong frictional force while maintaining a relatively large contact area compared to the outer sheet roller 185. Since the paper medium P in the skewed state is rotated based on the intersection point 192P with the support ribs 192 contacted among the plurality of support ribs 192, the alignment of the paper medium P is thereby performed. Can be done.
다시 말해, 매체 캐리어(130) 상에 스큐 상태의 종이매체(P)가 있더라도 시트 롤러부(180)의 회전 동작에 의해 스큐 상태의 종이매체(P)는 똑바로 얼라인될 수 있으며, 이에 따라 매체 캐리어(130)는 얼라인 상태의 종이매체(P)를 출금부로 공급할 수 있는 것이다.In other words, even if there is a skewed paper medium P on the media carrier 130, the skewed paper medium P may be straightened by the rotation operation of the sheet roller unit 180. The carrier 130 may supply the aligned paper medium P to the withdrawal unit.
이하에서는, 이러한 구성을 갖는 금융 자동화기기(100)에서 종이매체(P)가 이송되는 과정에 대해서 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, a process of transferring the paper medium P from the financial automation device 100 having such a configuration will be described.
